Summary

While the entire town of Magnolia is evacuated other than the Fairy Tail guild members to prepare for the attack of the Alvarez Empire, Wendy Marvell, Erza Scarlet and Charle are taking a Bath at the Fairy Hills Public Bath. Erza who is Arm Resting and curling her legs tells Wendy that Crime Sorcière will be assisting them. As Erza stands up and just about ready to get out of the Undermount Bathtub, Wendy gives Erza a hug from behind thanking her for being the one to invite her to Fairy Tail after her previous guild Cait Shelter closed. Erza then tells Wendy that she has grown into a fine wizard that the guild is proud of. Later on as a fleet from the Alvarez Empire approaches, Erza and Wendy are seen to still be in the bath and looking out the window at it.

Anime Differences

File:Fairy Tail 291 05.png

Anime version of this scene.

Main article: Fairy Tail/Episode 291

This chapter was adapted into the 291st episode of the Fairy Tail anime series.

• The Fairy Hills Public Bath has a Bathing Pool in the anime rather than an Undermount Bathtub and remains consistent with the design shown back in the first OVA's bathing scene.
• Erza's leg isn't shown sticking out of the bathwater on the side shot where she is Arm Resting.
• The up close shot of Erza's bare buttocks isn't shown as she is attempting to get out of the bath.
• When Erza and Wendy are looking out the window, Wendy's entire face is able to be seen rather than in the manga where she is comically shorter so only her eyes can barely reach the window.
• The episode's pacing moved fast enough to also adapt chapter 455's bath scene.
